I changed the old colour and black catridge to new cartridges on my HP 7600 (cartridge combo 56 and 57).The printer was working fine before I installed the new cartridges. now, every time I try to print out something I get a red light and the notice to remove my black cartridge. After I obey the notice I still cannot print out. I have tried everything. Where I live the cartridges cost $40-$50 and there are no electronic stores so I cannot simply run out and buy more.This cartridge combo was a brand new gift Ordering online is another matter as most companies do not accept orders from overseas. Is there anything I can do to get my printer to work again? There is a long queue of work to be printed and I need the work- photos and text which do not fit on diskettes and I am out of CDS. Please help.

The printer is HP Photosmart 7760 and the cartridges are correct according to the manual.

Have you tried removing and re-installing both cartridges? Also check to make sure you've pulled the vent tabs or poked the holes (depends on brand) on those new cartridges.

HP 7600? What printer is that - a deskjet, officejet, etc?
Are you sure your printer accepts the 56/57 cartridges (was that what you swapped the new cartridges for in the first place).
In case it is not, you cannot simply use any cartridge combination in your printer. They are different for different printers, so check your manual to see if you got the right cartridges. The easiest way is to buy back the same cartridge numbers for your empty ones.
If you did indeed buy wrong cartridges, then too bad... you simply cant use them.
